You are very much mistaken on that one. Those consensus meetings can not decide anything against the will of the users. In fact bitcoin core would hard fork bitcoin if miners agree…

those were aquisitions by Google. Now a list of Microsoft:

Isn't it beautiful how OpenSource is the joker card of the underdogs? Google played it with Android against Apple, too. In 2007 I did my diploma work based on AMD GPU cause it was …

As a tech fan, an on-off switch is too simple. I want to be able to adjust the brightness and "color" like the volume of my stereo. I never put my stereo to 100% because we figured…

Yeah, like 15 years ago I was on a legal seminary about how to deal with private messages at work. It's difficult. If you allow your employees to use certain means of communication…

Heart-warming story but too much praise for the government for my taste. What are the opportunity costs of not shutting down this platform years ago? And of getting the train delay…

For all the GPL-hate in this thread: GPL protects this specific implementation and not the algorithm. Even if the authors released this under GPL, this would only be a minor nuisan…

As long as you don't directly work with FLIF, cause tools don't support it, having the file browser's preview-feature work using FLIF would be awesome. This way it doesn't need to …

Apparently the brain-washing works well.

Interesting. How long between last and first meal? (Apart from the individual case not being representative.)

Oh, mercurial was my old love but due to peer pressure I'm now a git user. Always liked hg better and so happy to hear it's still vibrant :)

Lol. Funny to read you are in my situation 3 years back. Had joined a team where I did not at all trust that one guy but the others were ok. They asked me to join on an equal share…

Who else thought the article might be about Skunk Works Fusion Reactor?

A good product should support small and large groups and being a part of a small group can be valuable but I disagree that you can coin the adoption numbers of diaspora in any sens…

seriously, he throws around terms that bring up video games on google but no "planting bots" from 1970.

It would barely affect anybody. Confuse at max.

The mandatory link to Facebook's stance on patents that make their "open source" a no-go for many: https://github.com/facebook/fresco/blob/master/PATENTS

When I saw Gish for the first time, I thought the same but I bet they fake a lot of physics.

Well, I was precisely interested if it could be modeled with a chain. Otherwise thank you for you pointers.

demo request: I want a demo where the user can control a soft body ball such that the ball is comprised of chain segments, connected with string constant k. The pressure of the bal…

Know what's funny? "This is fucking funny!" (try it)

As I'm doing my first serious projects in JS now, I'm thankful for the article and the simplifying corrections here. Java.this != JS.this
